THE ESTATE OF MARY KATE PLATTS — ARTIQUES 🏺 Bayou View • Gulfport, Mississippi

Gulf Coast Estate Sales is honored to present the Estate of Mary Kate Platts, longtime antiques dealer, estate sale professional, collector, and owner of Artiques.

For decades, Mary Kate was a fixture in the antiques and estate sale community along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. To those who knew her, bought from her, learned from her, or attended one of her sales, she was quite simply a legend.

Now, after more than 60 years in the same Bayou View home, we are opening the doors to an extraordinary lifetime collection.

And when we say this house is packed, we mean packed.

Every room is filled with antiques, collectibles, artwork, furniture, books, china, glassware, textiles and the wonderfully unexpected things accumulated by a lifelong antiques dealer and collector. The large garage is overflowing as well, with even more antiques, glassware, collectibles, tools and treasures still being uncovered.

Among the highlights:

• Large collection of Roseville pottery in numerous patterns, forms and colors

• Large collection of Hummel figurines, including desirable early examples

• Antique oyster plates

• Extensive collection of antique spooners

• Large Damask Rose sterling silver flatware service • Antique quilts and vintage textiles

• Huge assortment of quilting and sewing supplies

• Antique spool cabinet and sewing-related collectibles

• Hundreds of books, including an exceptional library of antique, glassware, porcelain and collectibles reference books

• Antique marble-top tables in numerous styles

• Empire chest of drawers and other period furniture

• Antique china cabinets and curio cabinets

• Antique sofas and accent chairs

• Four-poster bed and Victorian full-size bed

• Large collection of American and foreign coins, including U.S. silver coins

• Crystal, glassware, china and porcelain

• Original artwork, including works by local and regional artists

• Vintage clothing

• Antique tools

• Kitchenware, cookware and household items

• And an enormous amount more!

This is the kind of estate that simply cannot be captured in a handful of photographs or a short description. We are continuing to unpack, sort and discover items throughout the house and garage, and there will be treasures at virtually every turn.

Whether you collect Roseville, Hummels, sterling, glass, pottery, textiles, coins, furniture, local art—or simply love the thrill of a great old-fashioned estate sale—this is one you will not want to miss.
